Question Are they arent they????

Is it me or are Greggs Steak Bakes and pasties getting smaller with less filling? To me it seems that they have shrunk a bit (well mi belly does anyway). I know over the years everything seems to get smaller (including sweets) and I therefore asume this is to avoid a price rise (initialy). What else is going that way which we buy when we,re in town shopping and need a bite to eat (the food budget does not count).

Re: Are they arent they????

I'm not sure about the steak pies but wagon wheels have definitely got smaller. In fact I think most chocolate bars have become smaller. The manufacturers then make king sized versions and charge you double for them..

yes the steak bakes are getting smaller at greggs

thier small sausage rolls ar laughable now compared to how big they were 2 years ago

over the last 2 years the small sausage rolls have shrunk to less than half their origional size

anyway i switched to using mannings on the bus station as although slightly more expensive their food is much tastier in my opinion
